Stuff You Got To Watch

This album marked John Primer’s US record label debut, demonsrating he had come into his own as a Chicago blues guitarist destined for greatness.  John made his elder mentors Muddy Waters, Sammy Lawhorn and Magic Slim proud with his mastery of their tunes while adding his own special flourishes and lyrics to keep the music fresh and exciting.  The tight ensemble playing is the epitome of the classic Chicago blues sound.

“John Primer is a gem of a blues artist, shaped under the pressure of years of hard labor in clubs and backup work.  The Mississippi-born bluesman played lead guitar in Muddy Waters’ last band.  His stinging guitar solos and tough vocals are equally at home with his original tunes or sturdy covers of solid blues.  Every time you worry a bit about the blues disappearing as an American music, someone like John Primer shows up to ease your troubled mind.”
